Chapter 101: Chapter 89: That Girl
By the time Long Yi had fallen into a deep sleep, the Dean had already been informed of the events that had transpired.
In a specially cleared warehouse, the Dean, Vice Dean, Guard Captain, and the higher echelons of the academy had all gathered. In front of them were the corpses of the assassins, freshly prepared for examination.
The first assassin was intact, save for his head, which had been bashed in. The second assassin, however, was a different story—every bone in his body was near pulverization, not only from brute force but also from Dragon Fighting Aura. What sent chills down the spine of everyone present, regardless of gender, was the massive footprint imprinted on the assassin’s groin. Following that were two Rock-traversing Dragons.
Two seven-meter-long adult Rock-traversing Dragons. The first one had its throat cut open by Long Yi, its lower jaw torn off. The second was charred to a carbon crisp with Dragon Breath.
Evidence found on the first assassin suggested that they were all from a large assassination organization—Blood Coagulation. Only such powerhouse assassins who spread their trades across major nations and repeatedly evaded national raids could possibly afford Dragon Knights.
By their strength, both should bear a Dragon Mark. However, their surprise attack resulted not only in their deaths, but both their dragons were also killed.
Had they targeted an eighth-year student, everyone would buy into it. Yet they chose to ambush Long Yi of the second year. Even top-notch students like Ais and Lei Zhen within the academy may not be capable of counteracting a well-planned surprise attack so successfully—at best, they’d have managed to escape.
Assassins usually operate in the shadows, meticulously planning their strikes, surprise attacks being their specialty. Everyone present knew how sinister the underground thrust of a Rock-traversing Dragon can be—the ultimate nightmare for every man. Yet the medical examination results showed that Long Yi had only suffered minor blows and no significant injuries.
All pieces of evidence indicated that an enraged Long Yi had smashed the first assassin’s skull, shattered the second one’s body, and crushed his reproductive organ underfoot. In the midst of his wrath, Long Yi had even torn a Rock-traversing Dragon alive.
Every presence in the room remembered Long Yi, who had the audacity to strike the Crown Prince in front of the Emperor. After all, he was not only outrageously bold but also invincible in strength.
And now, all the presences in the room were realizing,
"Hey, you old folks, instead of finding the perpetrator, you are analyzing my beloved student. Aren’t you afraid I’ll get jealous?"
Yavenny’s dissatisfied gaze swept over everyone, her eyes calm and pitch-black. The Dean couldn’t help but smile wryly—afraid, who wouldn’t be?
While others might not know Yavenny, the Dean was fully aware that Yavenny took psychic pranks as daily entertainment. She spent most of her time messing around with trifles like seduction, hypnotism, and mind control. When Yavenny’s eyes turned pitch-black, it meant she was truly angry.
If it were many years ago when she gave that kind of look, several Planes would be unsettled. Now that she had been civil for hundreds of years, who dared to provoke her again?
"Don’t worry, I’ve sent people out to investigate. Blood Coagulation owes me a little favor, so I suppose they’ll give me some face."
The Dean said.
"Face? I’m afraid your face isn’t worth as much as you think."
Yavenny scoffed coldly.
The Dean was taken aback but couldn’t argue. After all, without even checking, everyone in the room already had an inkling about the perpetrator’s identity!
The Third Crown Prince!
It had to be him!
Hiring assassins of this caliber would cost a fortune, something beyond ordinary people’s means. According to what people Long Yi had offended before his enrollment and after, they were merely due to friendly competitions within the academy. Such incidents were common in the Dragon Knight Academy. If someone could hire Dragon Knight-level assassins for that level of grudge, the academy would have been in chaos long ago.
Long Yi’s life before joining the academy could be described as beyond reproach. An upright blacksmith who was popular locally, skillful, and strong, helped old ladies cross the street, watered plants for the elderly, and found lost kittens for people—these were all things Long Yi had once done.
That means, Long Yi is a thoroughly good man!
The only one who could bear such deep hatred towards this good man is none other than the Third Crown Prince!
But do we have evidence?
For ordinary people, Blood Coagulation would definitely show some respect. But if it was the Third Crown Prince, Blood Coagulation would by no means betray him—he was a big customer that could propagate national shockwaves!
A severe problem had arisen!
"Blood Coagulation... Blood Coagulation... This name seems so familiar..."
Yavenny crouched down, examining the more intact assassin, and from the wrist of this assassin, she noticed a strange mark.
"This mark? Ah! I knew it was familiar! It’s that little bastard’s! Alright, let me handle this, I promise you there will be a result soon."
Yavenny turned to leave the warehouse.
"Wait a minute!" The Dean hastily stopped Yavenny, "What are you going to do?"
"What else could I do? Of course, I am going to interrogate to uncover the truth." Yavenny responded cheerfully, her eyes shimmering with joy.
